MANY of the papers are wont to treat
the proceedings at Macon the other day
in a jocular manner, and call It per-
Torrance of ghosts, which is likely to
vanish into thin air and harm nobody.
1t very likely that this new revelation of
public sentiment at the South will harm
nobody but the people of that section
themselves. Its effect upon the North
will be to solidify her people in opposi-
ton to the sentiments and doctrines
which we're brought forth from their
graves by the hot-headed fellows at
Macon.

THE SUPREME COURT.
Some Matters of Interest to the Le-
gal Fraternity.

In the supreme court Friday a
number of opinions were handed down.
Among them was one of special interest
in that it explains what is known as Rule
9, requiring the appellant to make an as
signment of error. Through failure to
observe this rule, MANY cases are thrown
out of court from term to term, and the
clients of lawyers may be the ones to
suffer the most. This rule provides that
the appellant must make out a set or SER
les of the errors he charges on the part
of the judge in the lower court, these
assignments of errors" to be placed by
themselves in concise form and attached
by themselves to the body of the brief
so that the supreme court judges may
have the assignments before them,in
compact form. In the opinion rendered
Judge Mitchell goes over the ground
carefully, showing that the amended
rule on this subject which provided fol
this assignment was published at the
time it was amended in 1885 in the news.
papers and is also to be found in vol. 81
of the reports and then says:
The rule requires the assignment Of
errors to be stated separately from the
brief, and argument and citations of au.
thorities have no place in such assign,
ment. In some instances counsel seems
to have supposed that the rule only an.
plies to cases where there are numerous
errors alleged to have occurred in the
trial of an issue of fact and not to cases
where, from the nature of the decision
appealed from, there could really be but
single error assigned. 1t is time that
it was mainly the first-class of cases
which rendered such rule necessary
and that in the latter class of cases a for.
NAL assignment of error would often be
of little use. But as it was impracticable
to specify in the rule certain cases in
which there should be an assignment oil
errors, and others in which it would not
be required the rule was made general
and is applicable to all cases alike. An
assignment of errors as general and in.
definite as not to indicate the specific err
ror asserted would be mere evasion OF
the rule.
The following syllabus of another opin.
ion will also be of interest, as it shows
points as to inspecting public records:
State of Minnesota ex REL, Myron H
Cole and 5. May Hopkins, respondents,

THE Chicago papers deny that there
is any alarm in that city over what the
effects of hanging the seven anarchists
may be. The claim that the men have
had fair trials and every opportunity
gwen them to take advantage of all the
resorts for saving their lives. If after
having all these appeals the men are
still condemned to die, the public feel
ing is that in carrying out the sentence
justice will be done, and all "alarm" at
the effect is imaginary.

A MEMBER of the wholesale grocery
firm of Patterson, Haifhill & thinner
man said yesterday that their business
for the month just closing has been the
largest of any since the opening of the
house. This simple statement carries
volumes of evidence in support of the
fact that Mankato is advancing in i'm
portance as jobbing center The re-
duction in freight rates which has Just
gone into effect will give a new impetus
to the city, and make Mankato a still
more desirable point for all kinds of
business.

JAY GOULD is likely to have some
trouble with his big telegraphic company

arrived for the winter, says that mum
Der of bills have been drafted and that
they will receive very general support.
